Strings (4 patterns)
| Identifier | Type | Value | Modifiers |
|---|---|---|---|
| $ | text | "/rt.ovf" | wide ascii |
| $ | text | "User-Agent: " | wide ascii |
| $ | text | "/me/drive/items" | wide ascii |
| $ | text | "client_secret" | wide ascii |
Condition
uint16be( 0 ) == 0x4d5a and filesize < 5MB and all of themIn plain words (Heuristic)
- The file must start with “MZ” — a Windows executable (PE).
- The file must be smaller than 5MB (a cheap guard that skips large files).
- All patterns in the rule must match.
